And he actually forced the helpless parents of the four to embark with him on this most unusual of adventures. When they were all seated in the car Milly looked at Billy Bob and burst into a gale of hysterical laughter. But Billy Bob's spunk was up by this time and he was all on the side of the resourceful David. "Why not?" he asked brazenly.
That's all right maybe for pikers poor devils that have no spunk but not for 'yours truly. I'm a pusher, a climber, I am, and, what's more, I'm a man with ideas. No one can keep me down in the world. One of these days I'll be driving my own automobile and Fanny will be riding in it with me. It's no 'guff' I'm giving you. I'm the real 'goods." "You are a shipping clerk, I believe," said Mrs.
Jane, she looks kind o' surprised herself. But she says nothing, except: "What are you going to do, Frederick?" And she laughs one of them mean kind of laughs, and looks at Henry like she wanted him to spunk up a little more, and says: "What CAN you do, Frederick?"
"If you had a little more spunk, you might make a good man of him; but you aren't the woman to do it. He wants his pride taken down a bit." "But what about the day, mother?" said Diana, who preferred not to discuss this subject.
"Write!" said she, lowered in her pride to think her husband was a coward. "Write, indeed! Man, have ye no spunk? Think what he has made out o' ye! Think o' the money that has gone to him that should have come to you! You should be glad o' the chance to tell him o't. My certy, if I was you I wouldn't miss it for the world just to let him know of his cheatry!
"But when I see you folks in that house last night," he said, "I thought to myself, 'Judas priest! thinks I. 'Them women has got more spunk than I've got. Gettin' into a house like that all alone in the dark Whew! Judas priest! I wouldn't do it!" "Why not?" asked Emily. "Oh, just 'cause I wouldn't, I suppose. Now I don't believe in such things, of course, but old Laban he did die there.
No, they won't get the chance, for they'll see me again to-morrow! "Now that is what I call spunk, Elnora! Downright grit," said Wesley Sinton. "Don't you let them laugh you out. You've helped Margaret and me for years at harvest and busy times, what you've earned must amount to quite a sum. You can get yourself a good many clothes with it."
Marse Tom's got his match dis time, and I'se glad ob it. I jis' glories in her spunk." "How did she come there?" "Oh, Marse bought her ob de trader to keep house for him. But ef you seed dem putty white han's ob hern you'd never tink she kept her own house, let 'lone anybody else's." "Do you think you can get her away?" "I don't know; 'cause Marse Tom keeps her mighty close. My! but she's putty.
I could have caught him just as well as not, had I not been so stupid as to wait." Harriet and the guide walked to where her companions were standing, not certain what they ought to do, not quite sure what had occurred. "This one's all right," chuckled Janus. "She's got the spunk, but she needs watching. She'll get the whole outfit in trouble. Tell me about it," he concluded, turning to Harriet.
Jonas Billings had put the matter in a nutshell when he said: "It ain't natural, them two, at Tralee. For marrying her he ought to be tarred and feathered, and for the way he treats her he ought to be let loose in the ha'nts of the grizzlies. What he done to that girl is a crime ag'in' the law. If there was any real spunk in the Methodists, they'd spit him out like pus."
